What is it about mazes that is so intriguing? Maybe it’s that they harken back to carefree childhood activity fun, or perhaps it’s some shared archetypal memory of our own personal minotaur lurking through the labyrinth of life we’re seeking to journey through? Is it a vicarious feeling of escaping some situation or place we’d rather not be, personal growth, change, or maybe the personal satisfaction from having a goal and solving the challenge?
Right on, Christian! I've got a bunch more "previously-unknown-to-me" old school gamebooks I will be writing about in the coming weeks. Thanks for reading!
Oh, same. I’ll definitely be looking forward to that. I’ve just been getting into gamebooks myself, from CYOA to Fighting Fantasy, and I’d love to learn more about the genre. Hope to do some writing of my own on the subject!
I don’t much care for the literal dead ends, but the combination of mazes and gamebook seems really intriguing.
I'm a big gamebook fan and you've mentioned a couple here I've never heard of and will definitely be hunting down.

Sweet - that sounds like fun. Just subscribed and looking forward to your gamebook content, Jonah!
